Guided walking holidays across the mystical Preseli Hills and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. From half-day escapes to week-long adventures — with luggage transfer, hand-picked B&Bs, and guides who know every ridge and raven.
"The Preseli Hills are unlike anywhere else in Wales. Where else can you stand on a Neolithic burial chamber, watch a peregrine hunt across the moorland, and see the sea glittering ten miles to the south — all before lunch?"
— Rhodri, Lead Guide & Founder
Preseli Hills Walking Holidays was founded in 2006 by Rhodri Morgan, a Pembrokeshire native who spent his childhood learning every footpath, ridge and hidden valley across the Preseli range. What began as informal walks for friends and family grew into one of Wales's most trusted guided walking services.
We specialise in the Preseli Hills and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path — two landscapes so different in character that a single walking holiday can encompass both the wild, windswept moorland of the uplands and the dramatic sea cliffs and sheltered coves of the coast.
Every walk is led by qualified, local guides who bring the landscape to life: its geology, its wildlife, its extraordinary prehistoric heritage, and the stories of the communities who have lived and worked here for thousands of years.
The hills come alive with wheatears, skylarks and early purple orchids. Long, clear days and the possibility of snow on the higher ridges — extraordinary light for photography.
Heather begins to purple across the moorland. Grey seal pups on the offshore islands, coast path at its finest. Our busiest season — book well in advance.
Peak heather bloom on the Preselis. Red kites at their most visible. Fewer walkers on the paths, dramatic skies, and the best conditions for spotting migratory birds.
A hidden gem for experienced walkers. Frost on the standing stones, snowfields across Mynydd Preseli, wading birds on the estuaries. Raw, elemental and unforgettable.
From gentle half-day introductions to the hills, to full multi-day traverses of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path — we have walks to suit all abilities and ambitions.
Stand at the source of Stonehenge. This half-day circular takes you across open moorland to the dramatic rocky outcrops of Carn Menyn — the quarry site from which Stonehenge's bluestones were hewn some 5,000 years ago.

The finest combination of upland and coastal walking in Wales. From the roof of the Preselis to the Atlantic cliffs.
A comprehensive guided traverse of the northern Pembrokeshire Coast Path. One of the great long-distance walks of Britain.
We handle the logistics so you can focus entirely on the walking. From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, every detail is arranged.
Walk with just your daypack while we move your luggage between each night's accommodation. No heavy loads, no car shuttles, no logistics headaches — just uninterrupted walking.
We work with a curated selection of Pembrokeshire's finest bed and breakfast establishments — all thoroughly vetted for walkers. Drying rooms, hearty breakfasts, comfortable beds and hosts who know the local area.
Every walk is led by a Mountain Leader qualified guide with deep knowledge of the Preseli Hills and Pembrokeshire Coast. Not just route-finders — genuine naturalists, historians and storytellers.
Walking for a special occasion? A corporate team day, a family celebration, a club outing? We design bespoke programmes for private groups — from a single guided day to a week-long expedition.
Every member of our guiding team was either born or has lived deep within this landscape for many years. Their knowledge is not from a textbook — it comes from a lifetime on these hills.
Born in Crymych at the foot of the Preseli Hills. Rhodri has been leading walks across the hills since 2006 and holds a Mountain Leader award with 25 years of guiding experience. Specialist in prehistory and upland ecology.
A marine biologist who came to Pembrokeshire for a summer and never left. Sian leads all our coastal walks with an expert eye for grey seals, choughs, porpoise and the extraordinary botany of the sea cliffs.
An archaeologist and Welsh language advocate from Newport, Gethin brings the deep history of the Preseli Hills to life — from the Neolithic quarrymen who shaped Stonehenge to the Celtic saints who walked these same paths.
The Preseli Hills and Pembrokeshire Coast are among the most biodiverse and historically rich landscapes in Britain. Our guides will help you see and understand what most visitors miss entirely.
Nowhere in Wales — perhaps nowhere in Britain — holds as many layers of human history as the Preseli Hills. This is the land that built Stonehenge, that sheltered the last stand of the Iron Age, and that sent its saints walking to Rome and Jerusalem.
Whether it is a birthday milestone, a company team-building day, a walking club outing, or a family reunion that happens to want spectacular scenery — we provide private, bespoke guided walks and multi-day programmes for groups of all kinds.
Private group bookings give you complete control over your itinerary, pace, start time, and focus. We tailor the experience entirely around your group's interests and fitness levels.
"We can accommodate groups from 4 to 24 walkers across the Preseli Hills and Pembrokeshire Coast."
"Rhodri's knowledge of the Preseli Hills is extraordinary. He pointed out a merlin hunting less than thirty metres away that I would never have noticed on my own. The luggage transfer worked flawlessly and our B&Bs were all exceptional. We'll be back for the coast path next year."
"We booked a private group walk for twelve people from our walking club. Gethin was superb — his talk at Carn Menyn about the Stonehenge connection left everyone speechless. The organisation was impeccable from first enquiry to final drop-off. Cannot recommend highly enough."
"The Hills to Sea holiday was the best week of walking I've ever done. Sian spotted grey seals with their pups in a cove most people walk straight past. Every single B&B was warm, welcoming and had excellent breakfasts. Worth every penny."
"We organised a company team day in the Preseli Hills. Twenty-two colleagues, mixed fitness levels, perfect weather. Rhodri split us into two groups and both had completely different but equally magical days. Several people said it was the best team day they'd ever attended."
"My husband and I walked the full north section of the Coast Path over seven days. The daily guides were all exceptional, the B&Bs were perfectly located, and the celebratory dinner on the last evening was a real touch. An unforgettable holiday."
"I came as a solo walker a little nervous about joining a group. Within an hour on Foel Cwmcerwyn I was completely at ease. Rhodri paces things beautifully, keeps everyone together, and the views from the top on that clear October day were simply indescribable."
Everything you need to know to prepare for your Preseli Hills walking holiday. If you have further questions, we are always happy to discuss.
Not for our easier and moderate walks. We offer routes graded for all levels, from gentle valley and coastal walks to challenging upland traverses. We will ask about your experience when you enquire so we can match you to the right walk.
Absolutely. Many of our walkers come on their own and join small guided groups. We keep group sizes to a maximum of twelve, so the atmosphere is always friendly and personal rather than impersonal. Solo walkers are very welcome.
For scheduled walks, our maximum is twelve walkers per guide. For private group bookings, we can accommodate up to 24 walkers by providing multiple guides — ensuring everyone receives personal attention regardless of group size.
For multi-day holidays in peak season (June to September), we recommend booking at least three months in advance. Day walks can often be booked with shorter notice, but popular dates fill quickly. For Christmas and New Year walks, book from September onwards.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome on most of our walks, but please let us know when you book. Dogs must be kept on a lead across the moorland, particularly during the upland bird breeding season (April to July), and must be comfortable around other people.
We walk in most weather conditions — rain and wind are part of the Welsh walking experience. However, if conditions become unsafe (high winds on exposed ridges, lightning, severe storm warnings), we will modify the route or, in extreme cases, postpone the walk and offer full rescheduling.
Yes. We ask about dietary requirements when you book and pass this information to our B&B partners and packed lunch providers. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and other requirements are all accommodated with advance notice.
Yes. We work with local taxi and minibus companies and can arrange collection from Fishguard, Haverfordwest or Whitland stations. Please include this request when you enquire and we will include it in your quote.
Tell us about your group, your preferred dates, and the kind of walking experience you are looking for. We will come back to you within 24 hours with a personalised recommendation and quote.
We aim to respond to all enquiries within 24 hours. Your details will never be shared with third parties.
